Today’s Motivational Monday Moment is patience. I need this and I hope that I’m not alone in my desire to have more patience in 2017. It’s the first Monday of the new year and I wish for me and for you patience.
I’m not a patient person. I try to rush things. Whether personally or professionally. You would think that having a child, I would learn patience, but I haven’t. I just get impatient when I have to wait.
When I have to wait on things I often times will act like a brat. Like the act of waiting is the worst thing in the world to happen to me. I can’t stand to wait. What am I supposed to do while waiting?
Ugh!
Ever felt this way?
I have. I do still. I am asking for more patience in 2017.
I want us to calmly accept that things are happening that we can’t control and we should just be patient. Patience. We want to patiently wait for things. It’s not our time.
It’s in God’s time. So, what do we do while we wait? We keep it moving. Prayerful knowing that everything will happen in the appropriate time. Be okay if it takes 3 years to buy a house instead of the 18 months you wanted. 
Be okay if you don’t get the money to go back to school. Patiently find alternatives. Refocus and prioritize your goals. Know that you have to be patient because everything in due season.
Have a positive attitude and develop your patience. It’s waiting. Positively. Not stomping your feet like a two year old.
Have you ever had to wait on something? When you finally got it was it better than you ever imagined? Yep, it’s happened to me.
I couldn’t have imagined the blessing that I would have received. I wanted one thing and got something bigger and better. It wasn’t my time to get what I wanted. Whether it be a new car. A relationship or a job. God sent it when he was ready.
I want more patience in 2017. Patience when waiting. Patience to accept the wait. Patience to know that when I get what I want it was well worth the wait. What about you?

Woohoo for Patience. I too need to find more of this friend. 2016 was better than 2015 for this, but I’m hoping that I can gain even more in 2017. Much love to you. xoxox

Patience is one of those things that I hate learning as Im just like you. Asking for it has always been a hesitation of mine because I know God will answer and it isn’t fun. However, it’s necessary. So, yes, here’s to more patience!

Yes! I just hate when I feel like my time is being taken advantage. I definitely need to practice more patience. And I need to keep snacks in my purse for the wait. That helps.

I need patience especially when it comes to my love life. I’m starting to realize that it is probably for the best that I am single right now and be fine with that. Just do my thing in the meantime. I also need patience with my career so I am learning that slow and steady wins the race and I am trying to win, okay? 😉 So I am finally learning patience in those areas where I was the least patient.
